"The leadership team has been an outlet for me to learn and interact with what it means to be a leader on and off the court. Being a part of the team has taught me more about what a leader is than I ever knew was possible and changed how I approach situations on the court knowing that I am a team leader. Coach Dudley has deepened my understanding of the different roles and needs of a leader, and from that I have been able to bring it onto the court to lead my team into success, and help move forward and make changes through failure. Before coming into WT Volleyball I knew little about what it really means to be a leader, and now thanks to the leadership team, I feel that I not only know how to be the person people look to, but also (a little) about how to help others lead themselves.

"Our leadership group for men's soccer has been meeting with Coach Dudley this entire fall while we were in season. It has been beneficial for all of us on a personal but, I think, mostly on a collective perspective. What does the team require to be performant at that exact moment? What can we do, as leaders that can contribute to the team positively? All these questions and answers that would not necessarily come through our mind, but that are critical for us and the team to keep moving forward and achieve great things. Coach Dudley's communication skills were a real advantage and it was always a pleasure to meet with her."
Alexander Vencel (Men's Soccer)
"Having leadership meetings with Coach Dudley has helped me on and off the field as a student athlete. I have grown mentally as an athlete and also as a leader. I enjoyed these meetings because it allowed me to have time to discuss with my captains and Coach on how to be better leaders every day and help everyone around us be better. We tried to go in the meeting and get the best out of them so we could take it to training and games. I learned so many new things about my teammates and myself. I always tried to get things fixed in there that needed to be fix mentally in my head. It felt like good or bad week, it was needed to go in and speak with Coach Dudley. We always needed a chat about the atmosphere of the team and how we keeping the team in a good shape. It helped me have a leader mentality and grow as a person."

"The leadership group has helped me better my communication and motivation skills with my teammates which is sometimes difficult because track is an individual sport. I personally have grown in and handling conflict on and off the track as well as my mental strength. Our season consist of almost half of the year which is a lot to take on not only physically but mentally. Using the skills I have learned from Coach Dudley not only do I feel like a more competent athlete, but I feel more rounded as a teammate and leader to everyone that surrounds me."

"Being a part of the WT Track and Field Leadership Team has had positive personal and athletic effects on myself and my team. I have been given the tools I need to be an effective leader among my teammates. Personally, meeting in this group improved the level of confidence I have in my athletic abilities and my ability to achieve goals which Coach Dudley encouraged us to set. I enjoy being able to take what we discuss back to my teammates and use it to motivate or inspire them to achieve their goals and create an environment that makes us better as a team."

"Leadership coaching allowed my team to grow together by allowing us to set team goals, create team commitments, define our mission and learn ways to help support each other mentally, at practice or on the course. After every session I was motivated to get an extra workout in or put in a more hours at practice. It gave me the focus to be the best student athlete I can be by making good intentional decisions every day that would get me and my team closer to our goals. It was great to collaborate about ways to help the team succeed as well as how to harness my own skills and strengths to become an effective leader in the future."
